Aren't diamonds forever?

Last days of summer at White Bear Lake. The morning was trying to break through the clouds. I loved how the sun sparkled on the water--a sight I want to remember come January.

Sail over to Skywatch Friday for more skies to enjoy.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

J.R.R.Tolkien

'Mackerel skies and mares tails, soon will be time to shorten sails.'

A lot of June was rainy and bleak in Minnesota; the skies remained cloudy for days at a time. This photo captures one of those rainy days on White Bear Lake with the water the same gray as the sky. See more skies from around the globe at Skywatch Friday.
